In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Kraken won 3-1 at home and are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Ducks.
In this Kraken vs Ducks Prediction, the Ducks are coming as -190 home favorites. The Ducks have been the far better team this season with 12 more points and 8 more wins than the Kraken and also have twice as many wins at home than the Kraken have on the road. They have been in good form at home, with a 3-1 record in their last 4 home games, while the Kraken are just 2-8 in their last 10. I expect the hosts to win this one comfortably and also exact revenge for the loss they suffered earlier in the season. Take the Ducks on the moneyline in this one.
